why so much secrecy from the tv set?

[king of nowhere]

they started filming the tv series almost 6 months ago by now. and yet in all this time all we got was the names of the main actors and !one! picture.

shouldn't they start releasing trailers soon? shouldn't they be trying to increase anticipation in the fandom?

You act like they need to increase anticipation. Twitter of Time is going wild over every set picture, that one image of Brandon on set somewhere, and a leak that someone who lived near a filming area uploaded of some pseudo-monolithic structure. Anticipation is as high as it will ever be, and it'll likely remain that way. The lack of trailers is almost encouraging, anyway, since it might mean that they're trying to get everything top-tier before a trailer drop.

Ah. I forgot to look at what thread this was in. I really should read The Wheel of Time series.

Don't feel bad, I haven't read it either.

I'm honestly not surprised that we haven't seen much from the set. I mean, given the sheer amount of fantasy adaptations that are in development, I'm sure the team at Amazon, alongside the production crew, don't want to give away anything that could give the competition an edge.

No shame in that. The internet is a big place, and most of the little leaks are being taken down ASAP by lawyers. I can't find the monolith image anymore for that reason, so it stands to say that other images have met the same fate.

same. I'm going to read that after The legend of Eli Monpress, so give it 2 weeks to be done

Filming also got shut down due to Covid, so the season hasn't been finished.  I'm sure their marketing got thrown out the window when that happened, this years JordanCon got cancelled, SDCC got canceled, etc.

I have to say, we have seen a lot more than other fandoms. Look at all the teasers they've shared, the way that Rafe answers questions, and even showed up in the Dusty Wheel's coverage of the concept art on the 31st anniversary of EotW.

And this just happened: 

people have asked several times when we'll get things on WoT Wednesdays, and they'll answer. This isn't the first time its happened.
